Why no quotas?

Only Truth - 2011-03-15 12:36

And where's Matthew Pattison???? Once and for all truth must be told. How the hell do we expect transformation to take place in other sporting codes like Rugby and Cricket, whereas when it comes to soccer we want to make it an All Blacks affair. Nowadays even coloureds are no longer good enough for Bafana Bafana, what the hell is going on? If to qualify for a place in the national teams is purely on merit, then Butana Khompela must stop this rubbish of him always calling on Saru to include players of colour in the Springbok's lineup.

The squad has 3 whites and 5 coloureds, what are you on about?

pure.black - 2011-03-15 13:12

@ Only Lies: Did you look at the full squad or did you just shout out rubbish from your mouth after you came from giving yourself a hand job? The squad is reflective of the dermographics of the country chosen on merit, something that cannot be said for other sporting codes like cricket and rugby.

I think Pitso seems a reasonable enough guy to include the guys based on merit, I think it's a fair squad. And I think the players of colour incl in our cricket and rugga teams are also there on merit (Duminy, Lopsy, Amla, Beast). Some ppl will always push for more quotas but ultimately the experts/selectors know it doesn't work if it's not based on merit.

dont worry, be happy :)

You lost it @only truth. Quotas were instituted to redress previous imbalances where players were excuded because of the color of their skin. Were white players ever excuded from soccer because of skin colour?

No matter how bab is the situation with the Egyptians, i do not see bafana bafana through here with this kind of squard.

Come back here on the 27th and repeat what you are saying......

shandycop - 2011-03-15 13:01

AWEH Somma & Killer! I say I like it, I think Pitso was a great choice. And Dicagoi & Pienaar in midfield...look forward to the game.
I always though Aaron was a nice guy, cheers old chap!

Pienaar has enough on his plate as a play maker. I think Khumalo is the right man for captaincy especially as we look at the future.

Good team, but Kermit Erasmus is useless...

traedani - 2011-03-15 14:09

Have you even watched him play??? Yes he misses a lot of chances but he always converts at the end.....If not him...tell me who should have been selected ???

Mamaile - 2011-03-15 13:20

aaron Mokoena 's axing as both bafana bafana captain and the team member is long long overdue. it has caused us dearly, losing unnecessarily. well done pitso for being brave and forget about the so called 100 and so forth caps that does not be converted in to the current playin set up. I am supporting u 100 %. we will do without AAron. well done

At last! wish he did this B4 world cup 2010..........

Eugene Mbatha - 2011-03-15 13:27

Where is Tshepo masilela, big mistake again pitso

Kaapie - 2011-03-15 13:46

If you aint good enough, you aint good enough

tortello - 2011-03-15 14:10

Excellent choice of personnel, though would have loved it to see Pattison making the cut but anyhow the players selected are pure quality and class. Good luck.

traedani - 2011-03-15 14:10

This is what we call a "young" team.....goodluck to them...they certainly do have what it takes.....
